Most condominiums and residential homes including professional office buildings have some type of tiles installed – outdoor tile, floor tile, or wall tile.

Although tile does add a beautiful and functional purpose to any room it doesn’t take long for it to start accumulating dust, dirt, stains, and grime. The build-up of dirt can happen at any moment in time. Therefore it becomes extremely important to clean tile floors, countertops, and walls on a regular basis.

Don’t forget, maintenance is always the key. Along with regular cleaning, you can also schedule with a professional tile and grout cleaning company for a detailed cleaning experience.

Let’s discuss more about  tile and grout cleaning in detail -

What is Tile and Grout Cleaning? Why is it so hard to clean?

Tile and Grout Cleaning is one of the most thankless jobs around the house. You need to get down to your knees scrubbing the porous and tile as a part of deep cleaning.

After taxing extra efforts, what else makes it so hard to clean?

Tile has a smooth surface but grout is a porous material. It collects dirt, grime, and spills, often discoloring the surface. You can’t just get it cleaned simply by mopping or wiping the dirt that has settled right into the grout. Secondly, if you don’t mop well, it will leave stains on the tile.

People often use Bleach to make the tile and grout sparkling. However, excess usage or vigorous scrubbing of bleach or any acidic mixture can deteriorate the grout.

You can’t even use steam cleaning solutions. It softens the grout and lets the moisture seep deep under the tile which may cause water leakage too.

Hence, tile and grout cleaning is a delicate matter that demands professionals.

How often do I need Professional Tile and Grout Cleaning?

Once yearly, twice, or more? How often do you need a professional tile and grout cleaning for your business?

Tiled areas that receive minimal traffic and have infrequent usage should be cleaned once every few years by a professional tile and grout cleaner. However, high-traffic areas like entryways, bathrooms, and shower tiles require professional cleaning once or twice a year. These areas are often exposed directly to dust and grime and become filthy from dirt and soap scum over time.

Moreover, when your tiles become dull or stained, mops and home cleaners may not do the trick. You need to either try some DIY tricks or hire professionals to get your things done.

While you call for professional grout cleaning services, make sure to follow these tips on an everyday basis:-
 

• Wipe your shower with a soft cloth after every use
• Use a soft cloth for cleaning the tiled surfaces with a pH-balanced solution
• Never scrub your tile and grout. Do not use any harsh cleaners
• Apply sealant if you can spot leakage from your shower faucets
• Daily sweep tiled floors after the last use to avoid loose debris or dirt

Why won’t my floor tiles stay clean?

Floors can look or feel dirty for a number of reasons.

Overusing of chemicals

Overusing chemicals often leads to residue build-up and leaves an unclean look. Such chemicals make your floor look dirty and it also becomes slippery. These need to be scrubbed off completely using professional techniques.

Dunking mop into unclean water 

Not using a clean mop may attract dirt to your floor tiles. Every time you dunk your mop into the bucket, you don’t change the water and this attracts dirt and leaves stains on your floor tiles. Therefore, use clean water and a mop while cleaning and wiping your tiles.

Not letting it dry properly

When it comes to tile and grout cleaning, don’t let anyone come while mopping. Otherwise, it will leave footprints behind and attract dust to that portion. Secondly, it adds up more work of cleaning. Therefore, turn on the fan or open ventilation to let it dry naturally. Don’t let anyone come over when it’s still wet as it may cause an accident.
